Thank you Kali, that was great and entertaining 😊. I understand what you are proposing, now to get other people to understand want to break free. I almost choked laughing at the beach balls. It reminded me of the big scary weather balloons the US had to "shoot down" 🙄.

Oh, thank you Carina! I read it back to myself late last night and found it as funny and entertaining as I'd hoped. (Hubby's favourite character was/is Sir Professor Null Fergrusome. 😁).

This is my first real attempt at writing any kind of fiction, and I am quite pleased with it.

As you say though, it's a question now if getting out to a wide enough, imaginative enough audience - particularly amongst more activist types - to inspire the various actions depicted. I might submit it to other websites for publication in the coming weeks. We'll see.

Thank you for your encouragement Carina. Really appreciated! 🙏🙏🙏❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️😎

It is a great piece of writing, you could continue this into a book.

At The Café

Conversations on Anarchism

Malatesta began writing the series of dialogues that make up At the Cafe: Conversations on Anarchism in March 1897, while he was in hiding in Ancona and busy with the production of the periodical L’Agitazione. Luigi Fabbri, in his account of this period, written to introduce the 1922 edition of the full set of dialogues (Bologna, Edizioni di Volontà), edited by Malatesta (Reprint, Torino, Sargraf, 1961), gives us a beguiling picture of Malatesta, clean-shaven as a disguise, coming and going about the city, pipe in mouth, smiling impudently at his friends, who, for the sake of his safety, wished him elsewhere.

It is by no means as funny or entertaining as your piece here but similar in ways.

I would submit it for publication wherever you can. I am going to share widely. I love it!

This sounds like something I’ll certainly benefit from reading, Carina. Looking forward to doing so shortly.

In other news, thank you so much for your encouragement and kindness.

The basic idea that I wrote about here is actually lifted from a roughly sketched novel I may find the opportunity to write one day. -In the novel, the global protest/Insurrection raises enough noise to wake Thor from his long slumber! LoL

I have, even though I'm having a day off today, already started jotting notes for a couple of follow-up posts.

With encouragement such as yours, Carina, I will take this forward. Let’s see what might be made of it. The idea whose time has come, maybe?

Anyway, humble thanks and blessings, Sister. ❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️🙏

Thank you! It is lovely having someone to have these type of conversations with🤗. Most of the western world is all wrapped up inside the box and think anarchy means chaos and misrule. You can't fix what does not want to be fixed. Hopefully we can find enough like minds to change this slave ordered world before we nuke the planet.

LOL at Thor that is a great idea. I hope you keep writing this as time allows, it is brilliant and creative.

My favorite Goddess is Kali (ironically enough)

"The Pirate"

Compassionate Mother Kali

You are the stealthy pirate

that sails the seas

of our mindless

hum drum

do-what-others-do existence

With your prey firmly fixed

in your steady gaze

you unfurl your black flag

with skull and cross bones flying in the sun

and stalk our aimless minds

which sail like so many wooden ships

from one meaningless port

to the next

What a sight you are!

With your disheveled long free-flowing black hair

blowing effortlessly in the wind

you direct the universes and all their beings

from the bow of your ship

Your songs of renunciation

detachment

and abandonment of the blind herd mentality

echo endlessly

across the waters of mortality

You are the very spirit of freedom

that dances in reckless unconcerned bliss

overpowering the prim and the proper

the prince and the pauper

trampling all self-imposed scripts of limitation

Victory is always certain

as you storm our ship

that is heavy laden

with the cargo of “I” and “mine”

Most flee in terror

at the sight of your approaching pirate flag

but I have been hunting you!

I am eager for you to steal away

my deluded self interests

and set ablaze my wooden ship

of self-imposed limitations

Mother Kali

I have spotted you in my telescope

just on the horizon of plurality

and I have given the order

to set sail at once!

Day and night

I will watch you closely

not even blinking

so that you will not be able to slip away

I and my motley crew

of mental musings, attachments and fantasies

are ready to join

your pirate band of Divine Marauders

From then on

there will be no captain but you

Like a divine Robin Hood

who sails the oceans of mortal existence

you steal from the bloated opulence

of our wandering thoughts

and give to our thirsting hearts

which long for your

radiant all consuming love

Ethan Walker II

❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️

I ‘ate genociders too, and all nation destroyers, and all rent seekers. And technocrats and managerials. I’ll try to be more “inclusive” in my next piece. 🤔 🙃 By the way, Starmer is terrified! 🔫🔫🔫 🫡

This is a lovely, happy account of the joys of getting off the internet to meet like minded people - and oppose the industry of horror. Well done.
